Exquisite

Exquisite, composed by Marc Daniel Heimgartner for the Turkish house Attar Al Has in 2021, is a gourmand fragrance by every account, with about three in five wearers also calling it floral and two in five musky. A minority find it spicy, green or citrusy. It is a confectionery scent in the Turkish-delight style.

Grapefruit and pink grapefruit give a tart, slightly bitter opening, with raspberry and blackcurrant adding a juicy, tangy fruitiness and currant leaf a green sharpness. Pink rose and cherry blossom form a soft, sweet floral heart. The gourmand side is generous: loukhoum brings a rosewater-and-sugar sweetness, dulce de leche a caramelised milk richness, pistachio a nutty, slightly green creaminess, and candied fruits and vanilla add further sweetness. Saffron gives a warm, leathery spice, and woody notes, white musk and musk form a soft, dry base.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone, and suits cooler weather and evenings and people who enjoy unapologetically sweet, dessert-like scents.
